Music I Like

I subscribe to Apple Music because I’ve been using Apple’s products since 1986 (40 years now) and I like the convenience of downloading and listening to virtually anything I read about.

Over time my Apple Music account gets so full of albums and songs that I can’t find anything. I reached that point this weekend; it was time to delete things I hadn’t listened to for a while so I could find the new music I had downloaded.

This time, I decided to keep a list of what I deleted, because invariably a few months later I will ask myself, “What was that artist? What was that album?”

This was the good music I deleted.
